Reinsman Josey-Mitchell Short Shank Smooth Gag Bit is a bit selected by Ty Mitchell and Martha Josey for practice and slow work, this bit is a good transitional bit from an o-ring snaffle or for a light or sensitive mouthed horse. The gag action provides bend and flex action and the mullen relief offers a forward curve that creates even pressure across the bars of the tongue. Stage B bits and hackamores introduce leverage and curb pressure and are ideal for horses transitioning from direct rein to neck rein.
